Leave a Review Quiztones
Rather minimal, but effective.
I think for what they charge, if they had another mode for testing, or another module or two to practice other aspects of production-focused ear-training, that this would be a much more bang-for-your-buck app. It’s certainly effective at getting you to practice hearing pitch in Hz, boosting, and EQ, but key features like panning, distortion, reverb, chorus and more are missing from this. I know there are platforms, like SoundGym, that charge more for all the music ear training variety you could want, but I think that, even for just a bit more, they could have at least a SOLID variety of content that’s not too shabby and would let me practice on key things like basic sound effects. If there’s an expansion for this app that I missed, do let me know!Show lessI'm very tired.
Good app so far, but a suggestion?
MAKE IT COMPETITIVE! I’m telling you, you will definitely get more longevity out of it if the tests tell you how you did compared to other people. Like a leaderboard, maybe just for the most popular tests! I know the competitive side of everyone will want to better their scores, making themselves listen better in the long run, also making them use the app more! WIN WIN!Show lessjba. Productions
Redundant and Greedy
So phones dont have some of these tested hz ranges. So it will be impossible to decipher some, Im a mixing/mastering engineer and see a bunch of potential with this app but the pay wall is egregious and I found myself questioning if the quizzes were even accurate. My advice to learn this stuff is just do, I got excited when I saw this app but in the end it was snake oil. I do hope the developer refines this and reconsiders the pay wall. Maybe put everything the user NEEDS and then add goodies on top of it.Show lessConrad_Mayfield

Hi - To get the most out of Quiztones ear training, we recommend using headphones or speakers. The base app is 100% free with 10+ beginner quizzes and has everything needed to get started. For those who want more content, features and difficulty, and to take their skills to the next level, we have Quiztones Pro. As a small team working full time on maintenance, features and content, our Pro customers directly support making this effort possible. I can assure you the quizzes are accurate as it’s programatic with testing and checks in place to ensure it — I can appreciate the irony of this comment though. You’re entitled to not like subscriptions, in this case $14.99 per year (less than 28 cents per week) for educational software that’s proven itself over 15 years. You can have that opinion, or email us feedback or questions, without trying to sandbag our reviews with false accusation. I’m sorry if this was the impression you got from Quiztones, but we’ll have to let our other reviews speak for themselves from those who spent proper time using the app and have seen great results.Great app
I like this app a lot so far. It is not too expensive & it helps with what it is supposed to. I do think that adding more features such as gamifying the experience & being able to keep track of your progress would add a lot of value to the app. Also it would be nice if there was some type of training or description for each frequency that would help me & others identity the different characteristics of different frequencies to know exactly what to listen forShow lessDJAlarco

Hi DJAlarco - thank you for the review and glad to hear you're enjoying Quiztones! Score tracking and gamifying things a bit more is high priority for us with upcoming features, so definitely stay tuned for that. Regarding frequency descriptions, I feel a bit hesitant to add too much there only because I think what might be most effective is allowing each person to evaluate frequency changes in their own way. One tip I could share though is using Practice mode to scan through each frequency change on a sound before doing a quiz, and to mentally make note of what "characteristics" or "personalities" come to mind depending on the frequency change and source material. Thanks again! -DanGreat app

So glad to hear you've found Quiztones helpful and easy to use, and thank you for being a Pro subscriber!Good app, subscription is greedy
It’s a great tool but charging $15 monthly is a bit ridiculous. Would happily pay $20 once for everything or a few dollars here and there for certain quizzes or functionalities. Currently the pricing model is all or nothing in regards to features. I would even tolerate ads, just not $15 a month.common sense really
Developer Response
Hi, just to clarify: Quiztones is not $15 per month. The base version of Quiztones for iOS is 100% free and includes 10+ beginner level quizzes. Quiztones Pro is an available upgrade for $2.99 per month or $14.99 per year for those who want to go further with 300+ Premium Quizzes, Hard & Expert Mode, Audio Importing, access to future features and more. We're a small team dedicated to continually improving the app, and this is the pricing structure that allows for that via the direct support of our subscribers. We hope you'll consider updating your review as to not mislead others on the pricing. Thanks. -DanMoney Trap
One of the sh…ty new apps that set up a payment trap inside. Most content is locked. If you unlock, you are taking a subscription with their so called pro level. Whatever it is, no need for that. Deleted after downloading.Booby1972
I LOVE THIS APP
Has taken my ability to hear frequencies to heights I never imagined was possible at this point in my career. This app is a game changer. Be consistent with it and it will change the way you hear music.JayAllDay!
